where does your nickname come from?


Drunken Monkey

Recommended Posts

I picked my nick-name from the history books of Choy-Li-Fut. Chan Heung is the Founder of my lineage (1836) learned ma's from 3 people, one of them was Choy Fook a monk from the Northern Shaolin Temple who withdrew from the Buddist clergymen to become a laymen. His formal Buddist name Ching Cho (Green Grass). When he took his vows to become a monk, it was customary to have incense burn marks onto his head. However, due to severe burns, it left serious ugly scars on his head. This gave him the nickname "Rotten Head Fook"

 

Why did I pick this name ? Because it popped into my head when I was registering at KF.

You must be stable and balanced in your foot work, if you have to use your martial knowledge in combat, your intent should be to win. If you do strike, you must release great power! The martial arts are easy to learn, but difficult to correct.

Nothing too deep here - I was signing up to one of the many popular free webmail servers (I don't think it was hotmail) and as usual everything I could think of was taken. So I looked up gods/demons/mythology to find something relatively obscure that sounds good and I found Fenris-wolf (from Norse mythology):

 

Loki himself is half giant, and has three children by a giantess. The first is the Fenris-wolf, who at the end of the world will consume Odin. The second is the Midgard serpent, and the third is the mistress of death, Hel, who feasts on hunger and thrives on sickness.

 

And it stuck - whenever I need to think of a username quickly I choose that. *shrug*

Uh...I'm a martial artist. So, I picked martial_artist. I know, completely original, huh? Well, it does best describe me.

post count is directly related to how much free time you have, not how intelligent you are.
